Installation Procedure

1. Cut the Polycarbonate sheet to the required dimensions using appropriate tools such as a circular saw with a fine-tooth blade or a laser cutter. 2. Prepare mounting surfaces and drill pilot holes for fasteners, ensuring to use clearances that account for thermal expansion. 3. Secure the fabricated Polycarbonate component to the pneumatic system or enclosure using corrosion-resistant fasteners, avoiding overtightening which can induce stress.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to edges, leading to potential cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least twice the hole diameter when drilling.
Using standard fasteners without proper consideration for thermal expansion.Employ oversized holes or slotted mounting points with washers to accommodate Polycarbonate's thermal expansion and contraction.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh solvents.Clean using a soft cloth and mild soap with water, or isopropyl alcohol for tougher residue.

Common Applications

  • Custom Pneumatic Enclosures
  • Machine Guarding for Pneumatic Equipment
  • Transparent Sight Windows for Cylinders and Valves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV-resistant coating, as it can degrade over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents (e.g., acetone, toluene) as they can cause crazing or damage the material.
